Answer: 4

Explanation:

Given : Bryan is making balloon Arrangements he has 8 blue and 12 cream balloons.

Then , to find the greatest amount of Arrangements he can make if he wants them to be identical we need to find the greatest common factor (G.C.F.) of 8 and 12.

Prime factorization of 8 and 12:-


8=2*2*2\\\\12=2*2*3

GCF of 8 and 12 =
2*2=4

Hence, the greatest amount of Arrangements he can make if he wants them to be identical = 4.
